vibration schmibration. The F20c is balanced well enough that I doubt there will be a noticeable change in vibration. I mean, it's a motor meant to live at 8k-9krpm all day long, so it has to be balanced properly in order to not eat itself apart.
Group buy?
If I could get these things for $250 I'd be all over it like flies on wing house servers.

How much is Puddy's dampener? I haven't read any reviews on the mount kit so i'm still pending on which way to go 
Typically i prefer to stay with most OE parts and just do an 'add-on' to help (ie Puddy dampener).
My experience with replacement motor mounts ('helper' inserts and full poly) hasn't been great. No matter how well balanced the motor is while running and increasing the rpms you usually feel a substantial difference ... and sometimes it isn't a pleasurable experience
Shifting from gear-to-gear is another matter in itself.

OK, need a review? I've got the mounts in my car, and i love them...
You can order them in different durometer stiffness mounts... the ones i have are their intermediate inserts... their full-stiff inserts are basically solid, and the vibrations WILL be out of this world. With the ones i have, the vibration is definitely there, but i personally like it... i didn't buy the S to have a Cadillac... You can go softer though, with the 60A durometer inserts, and it will be softer, but stiffer than stock definitely.
But the WHOLE point of these mounts IS to stiffen things.... so if you're going to install them, plan on vibrations, and don't cry about it vibrating.. lol! If you can't stand the thought of your car vibrating more at idle (which is really the only place you feel it most... you still feel it at speed, but not as much), then buy oem mounts and don't worry about it... But if you want more performance from your setup, a more solid clutch/engagement feel, and want to have the motor move less in relation to the car, then these mounts are it!
